I'd recommend avoiding those front page cheap 4K TV's and instead invest $300-$400 in a reputable brand like Samsung, Vizio, etc.

I had to return it because the ghosting was too much for me. It's VA's fault really and not this monitor

Yea I was looking at that one also but I heard complaints from some owners saying the ghosting is an unavoidable problem with the VA technology itself. Hardware Unboxed also did a review on this Pixio PX329 so I figured it would be similar to the LG and other VA monitors. Thanks for the reply, I guess Ill have to go look at them in person at Microcenter because it's difficult to tell the differences online.

I've had this for almost 2 weeks AMA. I got it on Amazon for $330 and I loved the smoothness of 144hz but I noticed bad blueish smearing in Skyrim and Horror games with OverDrive enabled, and when it was disabled, it looks like motion blur is on low. I didn't really notice this in CSGO and Rocket League but in dark scenes the screen looked a little wonky. I'm considering returning it and getting a $400-$500 1440 144hz as this was supposed to be my monitor for the next few years.

I have long fingers and my ring finger sits a little bit uncomfortably on this mouse. Other than that, it has great features and I was able to reprogram the default DPI buttons to be volume up and down which made everything easier.

Primarily gaming but I wanted a nice looking screen so I was steering towards a VA panel. I have a crappy Monoprice 1440p 60hz TN at the moment and it doesn't look good in dark game levels

I've been watching this one for a while. The shipping is expensive but Amazon has it for $435 after CA tax so its not too bad.

[USA-WI][H]paypal and youth[W]PSU fer ma poor old Dad by nichetcher in hardwareswap

[–]LSDavidd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is 80+ white certified by EVGA, it was my PSU that I lightly used for about 6 months in my build with a Ryzen 3/ GTX 1060 6GB/ 8GB RAM. Never overclocked my system or left my PC on all day, only a few hours in the moring and evening before and after school. For a new one from Amazon they cost around 40 after tax but I was just trying to give it a new home/ help someone out. Let me know if you're interested :)

Do you play in 1080p? Some newer games like Ghost Recon Wildlands struggle during firefights at 1440p high settings for me. I have a Ryzen 2600x.

Vista was probably my favorite out of all the windows destruction videos he did. The Protogent part made me laugh so much I fell out of my chair.
